Wise article from a personal perspective on overcoming sin

This article is a rare gem.  Rosaria Champagne Butterfield, former tenured professor of English, writes of her own conversion to Christianity and its effect upon her lesbian lifestyle.     The best part of the article is her wise discussion of how genuine Christian discipleship changes our lives, conquers our sins, and enables us to live holy and healed lives.   Though John Owen from whom she  draws her conclusions lived a hundred years before Methodism was born,  the four points she sets forth would make good Methodist theology too.    Those who think homosexuality is congenital and unchangeable like race also need to read testimonies like this one since she provides personal evidence against both assumptions.
